Benefits for the volunteers- Volunteer work provides an opportunity to learn new
skills and valuable work experience (enhancing marketability both for work and college acceptance)
- Volunteer experience is a context for developing significant relationships with like-minded people
- The experience of volunteerism can help develop many social skills – identity development, compassion, sense of agency (ability to make a difference), leadership, confidence and self-esteem. Volunteerism contributes to positive development!
